Captivating properties inspired by Christmas film locations

Love Actually

This quintessential festive rom com tells the tale of intertwined relationships, but take a look at the scenery throughout and you’ll discover a love affair with London too. Who can forget the iconic moment when Mark (played by Andrew Lincoln) silently expresses his love for Keira Knightley's character Juliet using cards. She was lucky enough to live on St Luke’s Mews, one of the most sought-after streets in Notting Hill.

Portobello Road is another iconic street in the area, and it's where you'll find this beautifully presented 2-bedroom duplex apartment, complete with terrace overlooking the famed location.

The Holiday

When Amanda, played by Cameron Diaz, looked to escape her heartbreak, she found solace (and a new soulmate) in the heart of the English countryside. If you’re seeking out your own tranquil retreat, this hidden gem in the centre of Stow has all the charm of the fictional Rosehill Cottage from the film. This Cotswolds country abode welcomes you with its characterful period features, while keeping you comfortable with contemporary touches.

Get Santa

The deer famously found in Richmond Park may not be exactly the same as their close relations that pull Santa’s sleigh, but the location still makes an appearance in family comedy Get Santa. If you want to be right at the centre of the action, this delightful period property is set in the prime position of Richmond Hill.

This light-filled family home offers ample room with 4 bedrooms, a double reception room, a conservatory area, and a further sitting area — perfect for entertaining friends and family with double doors opening onto the patio garden.

The Grinch

While not quite the Grinch’s lair, if the film has inspired some off-grid living - or simply an escape from extended family during the festive season - then this secluded island off the north west coast of the Island of Lismore within the Firth of Lorne is calling.

Eilean Loch Oscair is a croft island, which means it has the ability to support livestock and produce food, although you'll need to bring in services and provisions from Lismore or the mainland. So if you're looking for the ultimate private retreat away from the chaos of the crowds, this sea-surrounded slice of tranquillity may be the property for you.
